History of the Hamiota Development Company and Its Legacy
The piece details the 1960 formation of the Hamiota Development Company by 62 shareholders to protect the town’s facilities including the restaurant, pool room, and dentist housing. It notes early directors, bond-funded clinic support for Drs Hames and Hudson, fund distributions to the Golf Club and Library in 1982, and the eventual wind-down as grants evolved.

Public Utilities Board Hearing on Transportation Cost Increase

The company seeks to pass only the higher costs to customers, not profits. The change would raise the average gas cost for all residential users with rates outlined as current and proposed per Mcf.
